Writer's Block

By. Allison Dunlap

Okay, uhuh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Great! Great stuff! I like it!
But. This love stuff is,
like,
too nineteenth century. Ya see, ya know, it's not the style ok?
I mean, you know what I mean? Style--great! Love it! Really.
Great! It's sorta hang on--Hello? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Absolutely!
But no, we can't really. Yeah sorry. Sure. Bye now--Ok . . .
so . . . oh that's right. Style. It's sorta fresh but needs,
like,
something. I mean,
like,
a little zest. Can you make it a bit more snarky? Snarky?
It's a word. I mean yer the writer, you oughta know it! Snarky,
Like,
sorta smartassish. I guess it's just an East Coast thing. Anyway,
yeah, we're looking for something hot. With two teez if ya know
what I mean. Something tight,
Like,
umm, gay Mormons. Could you do that? Or maybe,
like,
incest or something. Why don't we do some reworking and take
the gist of what we've got. So we take this love thang
ya got goin, and we make it,
like,
two men. Put cock in there er somethin. Ya know? Er ok,
you don't want that, ok. How's about it's about a man and a woman,
a bi-gendered couple, but they're,
like,
not attracted to each other at all. They're just,
like,
married for the sake of it. But the wife hates her husband for being,
like,
so boring. And the husband,
like,
hates his wife for being,
like,
a woman. Because he's gay. And then throw in a little bit about
how they're Mormon ya know? Ya don't
like
that? Well Baptist or whatever. Ya know,
like,
something,
like,
that.
Then send it back to me and I'll do yer,
like,
editing and stuff.
